Selected: ARRAY(0x15de11c)

Natural light and privacy are most important. Proximity to people in my own department is not important, but I do want to be close to other _faculty_

Selected: ARRAY(0x15e75d4)

If I could control the heat, that would be marvelous. It is usually about 80 degrees, and that is impossible to be productive in.

Selected: ARRAY(0x15affec)

a space where I could take students to do art/cooking projects.

Natural light is no. 2

Selected: ARRAY(0x15e24dc)

I worked for several years in a cubicle in Hendrickson and it was truly a disaster. Students were very upset at the lack of confidential private space and I found I could not do my writing or grading with all the conversations going on.

Selected: ARRAY(0x15e64ec)

A full closed door office crucial, one that accommodate all of these needs. At present, I don't have the room for the kind of file cabinets I need, but the top three needs expressed here are met.

Selected: ARRAY(0x15aff0c)

all of these items are pretty equal in importance.

Selected: ARRAY(0x15aee14)

All of the above are top priorities (except I do not have much in the way of specialized professional equipment). I do not see these as personal preferences, but as necessary components to my job.

the walls in my cubicle go all the way to the ceiling so it might be considered a private office. i have no windows. including definitions of terms in surveys is a good idea if you want accurate data.

When I taught in Hendrickson I was closer to my classes.

Selected: Very satisfied

I have switched offices three times in the four plus years I've been at UAS and feel this is the best fit for me. If I could change anything, it would definitely be the addition of a window with natural light, preferably with a view.

The quality that I like MOST about my current workspace is:

Valid	Missing	Mean
11	0	NA

Comments:

it's bigger than what i had before

natural light

It is private.

Privacy

The private space with a door. It's very important to me to have a room I can work in with privacy. I very much like the window too.

My window

It has a door.

Ability to conduct dirty and noisy fabrication.

Window that I can open.

It is small but all my instructional and research things fit within the space.

My own space and quiet.

The quality that I like LEAST about my current workspace is:

Valid	Missing	Mean
11	0	NA

Comments:

it's too far away from students

marginal acoustic privacy.

The window doesn't open and it's often much too warm in the building.

Lack of light/view

Students can see into my office. I normally work with my door open, but there are times when it would be helpful to be here working without being visible.

the chalkboard walls

It is impossibly hot with a noisy heating system that constantly pours heat in.

Obnoxious lighting, lack of window, inability to control the temperature, limited size.

Often noisy.

There is no natural light and there is no private kitchenette nearby.

What SPECIAL NEEDS--such as large bookshelves, locking files, etc.--if any, do you need in your workspace?

Valid	Missing	Mean
9	2	NA

Comments:

i have a lot of books...

A lockable door is very important.

Larger bookshelves would be lovely.

locking files, large bookshelves, good desk, comfortable chair

relative silence at times for recording audio, locking files

Shelving, cabinets, electrical outlets

Bookshelves, filing cabinets, reasonable space for one or two student to sit comfortably and speak privately, if necessary.

large bookshelves and plenty of space to store all my classroom materials (I use a lot of models and props).

My office currently has all the shelves, etc. that I need. I have one large bookcase, one medium sized bookshelf, a desk and small table, a file cabinet.

What ONE THING would make your current workspace more inviting and appealing?

Natural light

matching furniture

A window that can help me keep the place cool and with fresh air.

Better lighting

Availability of a kitchen sink; washing dishes in the bathroom is nasty.

What ONE THING would make the overall campus workplace setting more inviting--a place that you'd like to spend more time with colleagues and students?

Valid	Missing	Mean
11	0	NA

Comments:

access: for students, to meeting areas, to classrooms, to shared facilities

equitable distribution of good office space (I moved 6 times before landing in my office!)--altho' more shared social spaces--a real cafe, better food services with pleasant atmosphere--would rank a close second.

Storage for the misc. junk that gets stuffed in hallways, classrooms, offices, and every other available space!

Open gathering areas like a kitchenette and student lounge "zones"

It would be great to have a meeting room for our department.

A good place to eat, seriously. I never eat the Mourant cafeteria.

Someplace I can eat, visit, and wash dishes (that does not have toilets)

A proper, dedicated art gallery

I am very fortunate to have such a nice office; I am definitely in the minority. I would love a few places to sit or eat lunch/snacks outdoors in a green or grassy area (NOT in the horrible bricked up space where greenery has been largely eliminated.

Separate areas for eating. Egan library has a great kitchen space with a table, couches, fridge, microwave and stove. And there is always coffee. It is a place where I can rest between classes. I would also love it if this space were available for use during class times so that I could do special cultural events with my students.

A faculty lounge / meeting space / presentation space would be great. However, if there is a decision to be made for available funds, individual offices for every faculty member should be available before any money is spent on any other improvements.
